To be honest, I have learned to hate the Bonus Markers.
The problem was mainly the two permanent stars. If one player ended up with both, then that was a huge advantage. I always removed those from the mix when putting down the markers.
I did not mind the one-shot bonuses — discard and draw a new hand and temporary order for example
When the Bonus Tactics were MIA on the Stalingrad boards, I was not sorry at all to see them go.
So my vote is for things that do not benefit just one side permanently.
The proposed new Bonus Markers are much better. Although the Objective is permanent, but that can be captured by either side so that is fair.
I would suggest keep the one use Order marker in the new set. Even for those of us with everything, that would give us TWO one-shot Orders, which would work pretty well, and for new players it is a good final selection.
